Absolutely, this course follows the regulated framework set out in the National Occupational Standards (NOS). You may also be able to use the workbooks as evidence.
We understand that returning to education can seem daunting, however, can assure you that you're not alone. Whilst we can't do the work for you, we can support you with your learning style to ensure you have the best possible opportunity.
You are given 12-month initial access, however, if you need more then all you have to do is ask, there's no extra cost like some online courses.
A great deal depends on how much time you are able to dedicate to your learning and any previous knowledge. There are 86 lessons, some are very short & sweet, others more in-depth.
Unfortunately not, a regulated qualification is under the government regulatory framework. We have a number of centres that you can attend once you have completed this course to take the VTCT or ITEC examination
Yes, in certain situations it is. We are working with a number of insurance companies to ensure that they understand the rigour and quality assurance associated with completing the course and achieving the certification. If you need to discuss this further, please get in touch.
